On Zhang Laomou's side, from himself to the actors below, they were very nervous. His "Ju Dou", which was shortlisted for the main competition unit in the mainland, is expected by countless people in China, and it is no longer Zhang Laomou's personal matter to win the award.

For himself, "Red Sorghum", which won the award two years ago, was shot from the perspective of a photographer. And this "Ju Dou" is the first time that Zhang Laomou has shot a work completely from the perspective of a director, and if he can win the award, it will undoubtedly make the greatest affirmation of his directing level.

Among the nominees announced a few days ago, "Ju Dou" was very tragic and did not make the list. However, because of the words revealed by the chairman of the jury that day, Zhang Laomou still had a glimmer of hope in his heart, hoping that his film would win a special award.

"The nominees for Best Director in Competition at this year's Cannes Film Festival are: Pavey? Longen's "Blues Taxi" ("Tale of the Taxi") ...... David? Lynch's "Wild at Heart" ...... Kohei Oguri, "Thorns of Death"...... Let? Paul? Raperno's "Big Nose Love Saint" ...... Zachary? Wang's "Holy War" ......"

"The winner of Best Director was: Pavey? Longen "Blues Taxi"! ”

A guy with a beard stood up excitedly, and the Soviet director hugged his companions to the left and right, turned and waved his hand behind him, and walked up to the podium in three steps and two steps.

The camera turned to several other directors who did not win the award at the right time, and deliberately stayed on Wang Zijun's face for two more seconds. With a faint smile on his face, Wang Zijun applauded and congratulated the winners with others, without revealing any disappointed expression.

Lin Yi also had a smile on his face, but he whispered with some dissatisfaction: "Aunt Qingxia, I think my father should take this best director." I also watched the "Blues Taxi", the pace is so slow that people doze off, and it makes no sense that these judges actually chose this director to win the award. ”

Lin Qingxia said with a smile: "Don't forget, I am also one of the judges, and I also voted for the Soviet director for the Best Director award." ”

When Lin Yi heard this, he coughed and said, "Ahem, in fact, this "Blues Taxi" was also filmed quite well......"

Wang Zijun listened to the conversation between the two and was finally amused by this kid. Lin Qingxia and Lin Fengjiao are like sisters, Lin Yi, this kid is still under the economic control of his mother, so he naturally has to say good things to please Aunt Qingxia. If Lin Qingxia can help plead for mercy, maybe he will be free.

As for the Soviet director Pavey? Long Gen's award, Wang Zijun has no opinion, he likes this guy's later "Russian Tycoon".

Only now, the real jackpot has just begun!

"The nominees for Best Actress in Competition at this year's Cannes Film Festival are: Yin Na? Tyurikova's Mother...... Christina? Yang Da's "Interrogation" ...... Gong Li's "Holy War" ...... Laura? Dunn's "Wild at Heart" ...... Keiko Matsusaka "Thorn of Death" ......"

Gong Li was sitting precariously, and Zhang Laomou quietly held her hand to show comfort. The relationship between the two is well known to many people in the industry, and Lao Zhang even divorced his wife for this reason.

The Cannes Film Festival does not score Best Lead Actor and Best Supporting Actor, but the Best Actor in a unified manner.

In Wang Zijun's "Holy War", Honami Suzuki is the heroine, but Gong Li, who plays the comfort woman in it, is more eye-catching, so she was nominated for Best Actress.

It's just that if you want to become a Cannes actress with these highlights, it's still a bit hanging. At least Wang Zijun has no hope for this actress's trophy.

Sure enough, the next words of the award presenter confirmed Wang Zijun's thoughts.

"The winner of Best Actress is: Christina? Yang Da "Interrogation"! ”

"Whew!" Gong Li leaned back in her seat a little dejected. The greater the hope, the greater the disappointment, this is the first time she was nominated for an international actress, but unfortunately she lost in the end.

Next is the competition for the Cannes actor, respectively, the actor of "Big Nose Love Saint" Andre? Chateauroux, the actor of "Wild at Heart" Nicholas? Cage, Ken Takakura, the actor of "Holy War", Francis, the actor of "The Deadly Files"? McDormand, Peter of "Blues Taxi"? Mamonov.

is an old actor like Ken Takakura, and it is inevitable that he will get nervous at such a moment. Although he had a smile all over his face, he was nervous by unusually keeping his hands on his tie. He has only won the Asian Best Actor trophy before, and if he can win the Cannes Best Actor, then he will reach a new peak in his acting career.

Ken Takakura's performance in "Holy War" can be described as amazing, and it is completely super-level performance. In addition to his own strength, it is also related to Wang Zijun's director. Many times it can be seen that the same actor meets different directors and shows completely different acting skills. It's like a clever commander in the game, who has a surname bonus for the soldiers under him.

There is also Wang Zijun's pursuit of perfection, and this movie is strict with the actors to the extreme. The most time, Ken Takakura was asked by Wang Zijun to reshoot a scene 206 times, and it was not passed until he was finally satisfied.

It's pitiful, 206 times in one shot, the N-camera would have collapsed long ago if it was replaced by a new actor, because every N-camera is a blow to the actor's self-confidence.

"The winner of the Best Actor Award is: Ken Takakura's "Holy War"!"

"'Jihad' is Zachary? A World War II-themed film directed by Wang, Mr. Ken Takakura plays the role of Uno Hide, a soldier in the film, and ......"

"Ali Gado, Ali Gado, why is it a mother ......to die" The award speech behind Takakura Ken was completely inaudible, he stood up and bowed to Wang Zijun, as well as Liu Dekai, Zunlong, Suzuki Honami and other people kept bowing and thanking.

"Congratulations, congratulations!" Wang Zijun stood up and shook hands with Ken Takakura.

Honami Suzuki hugged Ken Takakura and said with a smile, "Congratulations, Oda-senpai!" ”

Takakura ran to the stage, took the trophy from the award presenter, clenched his fists and calmed himself down for a moment before exhaling and saying: "I am most grateful to Director Wang Zijun for winning this trophy." This is one of the most memorable characters for me, not only the painful filming process, but also the details I learned about the war during the shooting, which was very shocking to me. I hope that in the future, I can do my part for China-China friendship and world peace, and I hope that I can become an envoy of China-China friendship......"

"Bang Bang Bang ......"

Wang Zijun applauded with everyone, and while applauding, he was thinking about another thing.

Taiwan has long opened up the ban on the party, and in the past two years, various political parties of all kinds have emerged in Taiwan one after another, and Wang Zijun also wants to form a party to play around. Or he doesn't come forward himself, but pays to support others to form a party.

Wang Zijun is not interested in politics, so the party he intends to form is not a political party. He felt that in another time and space, the "China Reunification Promotion Party" that Zhang Anle later formed was very interesting, and maybe it could be formed in advance to have fun.

The constitution of the "Party for Promoting the Reunification of China" naturally takes the reunification of China as its own responsibility. However, it is not through military force, which is obviously unrealistic. What this party wants to do is to strengthen cross-strait nongovernmental cultural exchanges, well, it can also set up another dark green newspaper as a propaganda front.

The next award is the final film highlight award.

Zhang Laomou's "Ju Dou" got his wish and got Louis? The Buñuel Special Award, which was not available before, was set up specifically for Ju Dou.

In Wang Zijun's view, purely based on the artistic surname of the film "Ju Dou", it is not enough for the Cannes Film Festival to set up a special award for it, which includes the personal preferences of many judges.

On the whole, there are very few movies from Chinese mainland, and good movies are even rarer. There is also the Cannes Film Festival in recent years, which has been the stronghold of leftists, and the chairman of the jury this year has a serious Chinese complex, so it is strange not to set up a special award for "Ju Dou".

The Jury Prize, the Grand Jury Prize and the Palme d'Or were then awarded, to put it bluntly, the Bronze, Silver and Gold Medals of the Cannes Film Festival.

The Jury Prize was first taken away by the British film "The Deadly Files", and the next Jury Prize was a little unexpected, the Swiss film "Tillay" and "Thorn of Death" actually won the Jury Prize together with the same number of votes.

The final big Palme d'Or is about to be announced, and the directors of the remaining films that scored well and didn't win the award are starting to get nervous.

"Holy War" has won two technical awards in music and photography before, and also won the best actor performance award, and the publicity effect has already been achieved, Wang Zijun is not bound to win the final award.

After all, the judging criteria of the Cannes Film Festival are artistic surnames, and the random and uncertain surnames of the judges are too big to score and vote, even the king of heaven Lao Tzu is not absolutely sure of winning the final award.

The emperor is not in a hurry, the eunuch is in a hurry, Lin Yi is much more nervous than his father, and his palms are sweating.

"The film that won the Palme d'Or at this year's Cannes Film Festival is Zachary? King! ”

"Oh!" Lin Yi jumped up violently, raised his hand and slapped his face.

Wang Zijun pulled Lin Qingxia to stand up, not far away Zhang Laomou, David? Directors Lynch and Kohei Oguri were all waving to him in congratulations.

Wang Zijun and Lin Qingxia walked up to the podium together, took the Palme d'Or trophy and handed it to Lin Qingxia, and asked the people below with a smile: "You should be able to bring your family to receive the award, right?" ”

"Hehehe......" There was a chuckle from the audience.

Wang Zijun took Lin Qingxia's hand, kissed the back of her hand, and said, "Qingxia, you have worked hard all these years." Thank you! ”

Lin Qingxia was moved and laughed again, I don't know what kind of madness Wang Zijun made today.

Wang Zijun snapped the microphone and said to everyone: "Thank you to the judges of the Cannes Film Festival for giving me this honor." I was going to talk about it at a press conference, but I was given the opportunity. Then I announce: this is my last directorial film and I have decided to retire. ”

There was an uproar under the "......".
